Sorry, I did not receive that message due to a years-old killfile entry
labeled "proud top-poster". It's the same reason I do not see your
posts to the mailing lists unless someone else quotes them.
As far as a qjail document, I do not use qjail and generally have found
it to be a mistake to work on documents I cannot test directly.
I suggested a search on the relationship between ezjail and qjail to
show that your involvement with qjail might bias your suggestions. That
involvement was not mentioned in the response I saw. If I missed it, I
apologize.
For completeness, I have not been involved in the development of ezjail
or any other jail utility. I recently suggested some minor changes and
additions to ezjail, although none of those changes have been included
yet.
